So if your boss rips you off...that's just an example of the FT "not getting it"?


TUM, you know as well as I do that such people exist n all countries of the world and that comment is not germane to the issue. You do not even know if that act was in response to something bad the FT did. Not all Koreans are out to screw the FT.People do bad things get over it already.

Sarcasm is rarely worth acknowledging. But judging by the comments so far I would say that FTs over-react and circle the wagons whenever they think they are being made to look at themselves in the mirror.

Except for myself, I have yet to see a FT admit to their being guilty of anything in Korea. It is always the Koreans' fault. Not one is honest (or have the character or integrity) enough to take responsibility for their actions and mistakes. They always make themselves out to be the little angel who is victimized by this 'vile' culture and country.

Option a) he hasn't been laid in a very long time.
Option b) he's so desperate to be accepted in to Korean culture that he is that mythical foreigner who walks around in a hanbok yet is still not accepted. Obviously, this angers him.
Option c) he's a troll.

No, not Steelrails. It won't take an archaeologist to dig up the true identity of this reincarnation.

Not to mention that Steelrails does not have a chip on his shoulder like this guy does.

It was vague because any details just weren't coming out right.


This guy is not an educated native speaker of English.

Calendar, if you are teaching English, you really shouldn't be.

If you are not involved in English education, what do you know about these FOREIGN teachers (FTs) as you insist on labeling them?

Sorry calender, but you're too over the top.

As one of the "Gang of Four" apologists on this board, I would vote to deny you entry to the Apologista Order.
